When you are a regular bike rider or if your kids are always out enjoying some recreation time, you know that you need to be safe. However, despite taking all proper safety precautions (including wearing a helmet), there are still times when crashes will happen. During the latest reporting year in Ohio, there were 19 bicycle crash fatalities and 1,239 bicycle crash injuries. What many people do not realize is that nearly every bike crash results in an injury.
It is not uncommon for the Brooklyn Heights bike accident lawyers at Paulozzi LPA to see the following injuries after a bike crash:

In many cases, bike crash victims are disabled and unable to return to the same standard of living they were accustomed to.
In many cases, bike crashes are caused by negligent or careless drivers. Many people do not realize those bike riders can legally share the roadway with vehicles on most streets. Drivers often follow bikes too closely and do not pass them at a safe distance.
